Chapter 378: The Man Who Fell into Darkness

  At the northwestern tip of the continent, the steppes of the border between the kingdoms of Ri Estikah, the Bajas Empire, and the Slendans.

  This steppe, which Rieg had visited twice, had become different after more than two months.

  Instead of a flat terrain as far as the eye can see, there are many raised mounds of earth with plants like the low pointed leaves of the grasslands, and it feels like it has existed here for a long time, giving the impression that the surrounding area has been like this in the first place.

  Actually, of course, this is not the case.

  This terrain was deliberately shaped by the people of the Nasalik Underground Tomb with the power of magic, in order to cover up the Nasalik Underground Tomb, which also exists in this grassland.

  Because of the existence of these mounds, the originally vast grassland has become a land with countless bunkers, and it is completely impossible to see that there are any buildings here.

  As a result, the surface part of the Nesarik Tomb was surrounded by mounds of earth, hidden in it, and the presence of the graveyard could not be seen unless it flew through the air and looked down.

  Of course, even if you look down from mid-air now, you can't see the cemetery on the surface of the Great Tomb of Nasalik.

  The reason is very simple, the illusion barrier has already been spread in the sky above here, unless it is close to a certain level, it is impossible to see the large underground tomb of Nasalik that exists here.

  Under such covers, perhaps only those who belong to the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik will know what exists here, and how to enter their stronghold.

  Therefore, when the two figures appeared here at the same time, their identities could basically be determined, and they would definitely not exist other than the people from the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik.

  "Ahem......!"

  Dimiugos clutched his bleeding chest and coughed the moment he appeared.

  "Are you alright?"

  Cosetus was holding such Dimiugos, and the carapace-like armor on his body was also destroyed, and he looked miserable, but he still looked much better than Dimiugos.

  "It's fine." Dimiugos wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "It seems that I still underestimated the power of Rige Brihaut, his power, the damage that a demon like me can cause is too high, and it can't be completely cured in a short period of time." ”

  “…… I'm going to give you the scroll I carry with me, and the scroll is sealed with the [Great Healing], a sixth-rank high-level healing magic. Cosetus muttered, "That's already the best healing scroll I've ever had." ”

  "I know, it's okay, Cosetus." Dimiugos said to his colleagues in a gentle tone only when confronted with his own people: "As long as I can temporarily get out of my near-death state and give me the ability to move, it will be enough." ”

  "This level of injury is nothing compared to what is happening so far."

  Thinking of the serious situation in front of him, Dimiugos's face was a little gloomy again.

  "Let's go." Cosetes also understood the seriousness of the situation, stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "Let's go back first." ”

  Dimiugos nodded.

  The two of them immediately entered the large underground tomb of Nasalik, passed through the illusion barrier, and came to a cemetery.

  Their goal was the largest and most solemn central temple in the cemetery, the only entrance to the interior of Nasalik's underground tomb.

  And when the two of them came here, there were already people waiting here.

  "Dimiurgos!"

  "Coe, Cosetus!"

  Calling the two of them were the Dark Elf Twins, who were fellow Guardians, the Dark-Elf Twins, who had surrounded Rige in the savannahs with the likes of Jarbede, Shatia, and Dimiugos——— Yaula Bella Fiora and Mare Belo Fiore.

  The two guardians of the sixth layer of the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik were also tense at this moment, obviously knowing what was going on.

  Seeing this, Dimiugos didn't explain anything, but just asked the two of them.

  "Are you back?"

  Hearing this, Yaula and Mare nodded one after another.

  "It's back."

  "Just, in the throne room."

  The words of the two made Dimiugos and Cosetes both show reassuring expressions.

  What they feared most was that the adult would not come back.

  "Let's go, let's go to the Throne Room."

  Dimiugaston walked into the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik and told the crowd to follow.

  This time, their destination was the tenth floor, located at the very bottom of the Great Tomb of Nasalik.

  Through the teleportation of several teleportation arrays, everyone came to this level smoothly, and also came to an extremely spacious and elaborately designed high room.

  True to its name, the "Room of the Thrones" is not only spacious, but also dignified.

  It has very high ceilings, white walls decorated with gold accents, and several ornate crystal lamps made of colorful gemstones that illuminate the forty huge flags with different patterns on the walls.

  In this hall of heavy gold and silver tones, there was a staircase more than a dozen steps high, the top of the staircase was a huge throne cut out of a huge crystal, the back of the chair was as high as the sky, and on the wall behind the throne hung a huge red banner with a sign painted on it, which was greater than the forty flags planted on the wall, and was obviously far more important than the former.

  This is the Hall of the Throne, located in the deepest and most important part of the Great Tomb under Nassalik.

  Here, not only can you manage many affairs in the Nasalik Underground Tomb through the system provided by the "Ainz Ul Gong" guild, but you can also manage the NPCs that exist here, and if an NPC dies outside, it will eventually be resurrected in this place and return to the Nasalik Underground Tomb.

Last time, it was here that Shatia was resurrected after being dominated by the spirit and defeated by Ainz.

  And when Dimiugos and the others came here, not only had many high-level NPC characters from the Great Underground Tomb of Nasalik gathered here, but even some servants with extraordinary combat power had been summoned here.

  They knelt on one knee in unison, facing the direction of the throne.

  On the throne, Ainz sat with the golden scepter in his hand.

  Yes.

  Ainz is resurrected.

  Dimiugos and Cosettes were full of excitement and hurried to Ainz and got down on one knee.

  "Lord Anz!"

  "It's great that you're fine!"

  The two were both excited and moved, and they looked like they were almost in tears.

  Ainz looked up as if he hadn't noticed the return of Dimiugos and Cosetes until now.

  “…… Let's just say it's nothing. ”

  Ainz said this in a tone that he didn't know if it could be counted as the aftermath of the catastrophe.

  "Fortunately, there are transfer items that can be activated immediately at the same time as the resurrection, otherwise, I may not be able to come back this time."

  For this, Anz is indeed glad to be there.

  Before setting off for Blockage, Ainz took two precious props with him.

  One is a resurrection item that activates immediately upon death and does not reduce the owner's level.

  One is a transfer item that can be activated in a chain at the moment of resurrection, transferring the wielder to a pre-set location.

  Both of these props were purchased for a fee, which is also known as kryptonite props.

  Before he set off, Ainz brought these two items with him just in case, and it turned out that they were both used, allowing Ainz to return safely to the large underground tomb of Nasalik and not actually die.

  "But Shatia and Albede are dead."

  The bony hand that Ainz had placed on the armrest began to clench into a fist.

  "They're killed! Be ...... by that damn human! ”

  Anger poured out of Anzi's heart irrepressibly, and even if he was forced to calm down, it was still erupting continuously, making Anz unconsciously turn on the effect of [Desperate Aura], and a dark ominous aura rose behind him.

  “————！”

  Feeling this suffocating terrifying aura, everyone present lowered their heads in fear, and the atmosphere did not dare to take any more breaths.

  Dimiugos and Cosetes were even more guilty and remorseful.

  "It's all my incompetence to protect Lord Ainz."

  "Even though there were four Guardians with us, we fell to such a point, and caused Lord Ainz to die once, and we really deserve death."

  "Please punish Lord Ainz as well."

  "If we can appease the wrath of the Venerable Supreme Supreme, and let us suffer any punishment, we are willing."

  The two of them said these words in voices that seemed to be about to cry, so that Ainz finally got rid of the state of raging anger, and the forced calm also took effect, soothing the fierce emotions in his heart.

  "Forget it, it's none of your business." Ainz shook his head and said, "It's not that you can't do it this time, it's that Rieg Brihaut is far stronger than we imagined, which will lead to this result." ”

  "That human strength is too strong, with that level of strength, but he still fought evenly with Shatiya twice, which shows that he has been deliberately hiding his strength before, so as to mislead us."

  "Therefore, the most urgent thing is not to punish the men, but to make arrangements for the resurrection of Yarbede and Shatiya, and then reformulate the countermeasures."

  With that, Ainz set his sights on Dimiugos.

  "Is the situation on the kingdom under control?"

  Ainz's inquiry made Dimiugos finally look up.

  "Yes, it's been well controlled." Dimiugos said respectfully: "Although we were all hit hard by Riger Brihaut, the plan was successfully executed, with the secret assistance of the three princesses of the kingdom and the black material of the major nobles obtained from the [Eight Fingers], the high-ranking members of the kingdom were misled and turned hostile to the Sect, it was a matter of time." ”

  "Plus, as a giveaway, we brought back some people associated with Rige Brihout."

  Dimiugos summoned several servants and had them throw a group of men into the hall.

  Then, it was the people of [Rose of the Rose] and Brian.
